    Chapter 743 "337" Highland Attack and Defense Battle

    On the battlefield of Shanhaiguan, the Liuguhe Block Defense Line of the Army Division Feng Jiwu Corps, and the battle on the 337 Highlands of Heishan continued until more than four o'clock in the morning. The fierce gunfire stopped, and the only restless hot spot on the entire front that night was  It also fell silent. Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu did not return to the headquarters. They were waiting for the staff officers who went to understand the situation to come back and report the situation.  -< Piaotian literature registered members recommend this work >-%.net

    "Report, Liu Jinshan, commander of the first regiment of the third brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, has been ordered to arrive." The strong man's voice had a metallic resonance. Tang Qiuli turned around and instantly felt the smell of gunpowder smoke on the young regiment commander.  The smell of blood, the scent of someone who had just returned from a fight on the battlefield, made Tang Qiuli feel more intimate and intoxicated for a moment.

    A group of soldiers who had withdrawn passed quietly behind Liu Jinshan. Liu Jinshan briefly reported the battle. Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu both looked moved. It was such a thrilling night. A group of stretchers passed by. Tang Qiuli screamed.  The captain of the battlefield ambulance team stopped and asked who was Guo Quanyou. He looked carefully at the young platoon leader who was still unconscious. After a while, he waved wordlessly and asked the stretcher team to continue transporting the wounded to the rear.

    He called over a staff officer and ordered: "For the record, Liu Hanzhang, Vice Chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, paid a thousand yuan from the financial department of the special economic zone as a reward for the first regiment of the first brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Japanese Army.  The bonus awarded to Mr. Guo Quanyou must be handed over to his family, and Guo Quanyou¡¯s deeds should be widely publicized in major media in Dingbian to boost the morale of all soldiers and civilians.¡±

    This is the meaning of the question. Guo Quanyou must be rewarded. His decisive action, from a small perspective, saved the Montenegro 337 Highlands. From a large perspective, it eliminated hidden dangers for the entire Liugu River defense line, and even for the entire North China decisive battle.  It is also a great achievement. Such soldiers must be rewarded so that all the soldiers of the Army know that their achievements will not be buried.

    Tang Qiuli turned to Feng Jiwu and said: "Jiwu, Guo Quanyou's talent and combat experience, as well as his handling and adaptability in this encounter, can take on a higher-level position. After recovering from his injuries, he will be sent to Dingding first."  The officer training corps of the Border Military Academy will go to study for a period of time. After returning, the corps can arrange the duties appropriately. In addition, the division headquarters has decided to award Guo Quanyou a second-level bravery medal. It will be publicly commended to all participating units. What do you think? "

    Such a platoon leader who was personally praised and commended by the division commander came from his own corps. Feng Jiwu was too late to be happy. As far as he knew, this was the first soldier in the army to be awarded the Second Class Warrior Medal. He hurriedly told Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng to go  Regarding the details, Tang Qiuli continued: "Jiwu, the Japanese army is so interested in the 337 Highlands. I am afraid it is not just because part of the highlands is occupied by them, but its special location has attracted the attention of the Japanese commander.  That was chosen as the final breaking point.¡±

    Feng Jiwu was suddenly shocked. He deployed a blocking defense line on the west bank of the Liugu River. Due to the unfavorable terrain and being extremely vulnerable to Japanese attacks, he focused on more than a dozen key points, including the 337 Highlands in Montenegro.  After five days of fierce fighting, no other key points were lost. Only the Black Mountain defense line was broken through by the Japanese army and part of the position was occupied.

    He attributed all this to the commander's incompetent command, which gave the Japanese army an opportunity and sent a law enforcement team. After Tang Qiuli reminded him, Feng Jiwu realized that he had ignored the importance and importance of the 337 Highlands.  The special geographical location is located at the center of the entire Liugu River defense line. The terrain is relatively gentle and it is the only prominent part of the entire defense line. The section of the Liugu River facing the river has shallow and flat water, with the water depth not reaching the waist, and can be crossed by wading.  However, it is no wonder that the casualties of the guarding troops were higher than those of the troops in other areas, and the attacks they suffered were much more violent. This Japanese commander is not simple.

    He couldn't help but shook his head regretfully. Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Jiwu, with only more than 200,000 troops, defends a defense line of more than 150 miles, facing more than 380,000 elite Kwantung Army, land, sea and air  After five days of joint attack, the defense line remains standing. Jiwu, you don't have to blame yourself, you have done a good enough job." Seeing that Feng Jiwu still couldn't let go, he patted him on the shoulder as if to comfort him.

    "Jiwu, adjust your deployment, withdraw the defensive forces on the 337 Highlands to a safe area overnight, strengthen the side firepower on both sides of the highlands, wait for the Japanese artillery fire, then pull the troops up, attack from three sides, enough firepower for the Japanese attacking troops  Yes, I am sure that the Japanese army's sneak attack tonight is no accident. Tomorrow, the 337 Highlands will be the key target of the Japanese army's attack. We can't just wait to be hit by artillery shells. In addition, mobilize a heavy artillery regiment to hide in  Set up a position behind the high ground. The Japanese will use tanks tomorrow, so we will prepare a big gift for him. In the shortest time, the tanks that kill the Japanese will be moved immediately. The Japanese heavy artillery is not a vegetarian," Feng Jiwu smiled,  Busy setting up.

    On the east bank of the Liugu River, the forward headquarters of the Kwantung Army's Southward Regiment, Yano OtozaburoJiang waited for almost a whole night in the strong sea breeze, until the gunfire gradually subsided, the night returned to tranquility, the east became white, and the dawn showed a faint light. No one from the Ono Alliance arrived, and the radio station also lost contact. The two brigades  There was no news about the soldiers, nor the soldiers who had previously occupied part of the position.

    The staff came to ask for instructions on whether to follow the original plan and use Montenegro's 337 Highlands as a key breakthrough area. Yano Otonzaburo had a gloomy face and replied without looking back: "Proceed according to the original plan." The staff looked at the commander.  With a face that didn't dare to speak, Yano left in a hurry. Even if Yano wanted to change the plan, it was too late. The attack force, a division and a tank regiment, were already ready to attack.

    What's more, judging from the five-day attack, the commander of the Chinese army on the opposite side did not realize that the 337 Highlands was the only flaw and weakness in the entire defense line. He used the strength of a division and a tank regiment to assault a frontal  A highland with a width of no more than six kilometers shows how seriously Yano Otonzaburo attaches importance to this attack.

    The sky is brightening, the sun has not yet risen, and a vague mist has enveloped the land in western Liaoning that has experienced several days of artillery fire. The mist is lingering, and everything is hidden in the ever-changing mist. It is silent and strange, and there is a thunderous sound.  The ground trembled slightly, and on the east bank of the Liugu River, the mist reflected the flickering firelight. In the air, bursts of screams pierced the sky, and groups of artillery shells, from far to near, fell on the land on the other side in the blink of an eye.

    The fire was shining, raising smoke pillars into the sky, and soil mixed with gravel flying around. A peaceful morning was violently broken by the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army. The Japanese army began a new attack, starting from Jianchang in the north and reaching Sui in the south.  Fierce battles broke out everywhere along the front line, which was more than 150 miles long. A fire chain composed of whistling steel fragments, balls of fire, and bursts of soil stretched along the curved Liugu River to Liaodong Bay.

    If you observe carefully, there are more than a dozen points where the Japanese artillery bombardment is more violent. Among them, in the direction of Heishan 337 Highland, from the direction of the headquarters where Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu are located, it looks like a volcanic eruption.  The continuous smoke clouds made the fog heavier. In the fog, there were flashes of fire. In the direction of the wasteland in the middle part of Suizhou, the intensity of the shelling was no less severe than that of the 337 Highlands, which was anchored on the sea of ??Liaodong Bay.  The Japanese warships were shelling the blocking position of the Niangziguan garrison.

    The artillery fire extended, and more than 80,000 Japanese troops launched ferocious attacks on the Japanese division's blocking positions from all directions at the same time. Yano Otonzaburo was determined to break through the blocking defense line of the Chinese army today and attack the Japanese troops on the 337 Highlands, taking the lead.  A regiment of assault troops successfully waded across the Liugu River without encountering any obstruction. Under the cover of more than a hundred tanks, they swarmed towards the high ground.

    Halfway up the mountain, there was still no rain of bullets like before, and the nervous Japanese soldiers were convinced that the Chinese soldiers on the highlands who had caused them so much suffering should have been killed by the more violent imperial attack in the past.  The army's artillery was all blown up, and they shouted wildly and accelerated their charge.

    The Japanese tanks also increased their accelerator, emitting black smoke and roaring towards them. As soon as the tanks accelerated, they distanced themselves from the infantry behind them. During World War II, the Japanese army, on the battlefield in China, because of the Chinese ** troops  With no armor and no effective anti-tank weapons, the threat to the Japanese armored forces was almost zero. Based on this, the Japanese Army paid little attention to infantry-tank cooperation and did not conduct specialized tactical training.

    Suddenly, a dense rain of bullets came from both sides, like two chains of fire, fiercely lashing at the charging Japanese infantry formation, separating the Japanese infantry from the Japanese tanks. The fallen Japanese soldiers fell one by one, and their bodies rolled down the hillside.  Next, they were hit by sudden firepower. The Japanese charge formation was in chaos, and the firepower had blocked their retreat. They had to rush forward desperately. Fortunately, there were no bullets coming from the opposite side, and there were armored monsters to rely on.

    The moon-like desolate surface on the high ground can already be seen. The position they occupied last time is just below their feet. The ferocious firepower on both sides also greatly reduced the threat. The morale of the Japanese soldiers was greatly boosted.  , the cold light flashed, everything was not as beautiful as they imagined. The silent position suddenly came to life, the light and heavy machine guns roared together, and the dense rain of bullets hit the Japanese army like a strong wind.

    However, the effect was not great. The bullets hit the tank, making "ding-dong" noises and bursting out sparks. This invulnerable monster didn't care at all. It rolled up the soil and rushed forward with tongues of fire, even the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the tanks.  Soldiers suffered very few casualties.

    Lieutenant General Yano Otonzaburo saw all this through the telescope and was so excited that his whole body trembled. The effect of the attack was unexpected. The tank's attack power was indeed amazing, especially when used to break through fixed defensive areas. It was unstoppable.  Immediately issue an order to follow up the attacking troops and immediately launch the attack.

    Nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiersHe jumped into the Liugu River like a dumpling. On the river, there were crowds of people like yellow and turbid waves, and the momentum was very alarming.
